14.1 Installing Sentral Host Agent
The sections below show how to install Sentral Host Agent on compute devices in a Sentral
environment.
The Sentral host agent must be installed on each host (physical computer, blade, virtual machine, or
other computing device) that Sentral manages.
NOTE:
Remember that hosts require a host agent; thin clients require a thin client agent. Zero clients
do not require the installation of agent software.
See 14.2 “Installing Sentral Thin Client Agent” on page 32 for information about installing a thin
client agent.
14.1.1 Windows Embedded Standard 7
This section shows how to install Sentral Host Agent on devices using the Windows Embedded Standard
7 operating system.
ClearCube recommends copying the host agent installer to the host or VM and installing it locally.
The Sentral host agent requires administrator privileges for installation. These steps assume you are
installing the host agent on a computer running a Windows 7 operating system. To install the Sentral
host agent on a host, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that you:
 Log in to the physical host or VM as an Administrator with installation privileges.
 Open ports that Sentral requires for communication, specified in the table “Configuring network
ports” in Sentral Administrator’s Guide.
 For VMs only: Install and configure VM host application and VMs according to product
documentation.
2. From the Sentral download, copy the Setup.exe installer from the Sentral host agent folder to the
host or VM.
3. Right-click Setup.exe and select Run as administrator to launch the host agent installer. User
Account Control displays a message. Click Yes. The installer displays the Host Agent welcome screen,
shown below.
